3.8 is it with NS or non NS.

usually with NS will get +300 more

Saw a job posting for DSTA Senior Executive/Assistant Manager/Manager (Corporate Communications).

Anyone knows what's the payscale? Am looking to jump from private industry with 3y of work experience.

Thanks in advance!

You will be highly sought after by your vendors and suppliers like ST Engineering, Thales etc

I applied for a procurement post and status is Pre-Screening. May i know what this mean as i have yet to receive any calls. Usually how long will the tis Pre-Screening take?

Do note that workload may be high and learning curve can be steep.

All the best!

I see, thanks for the advice! I have decided to pursue another offer in the end.
